Hello, I'm Moises

I'm a Software Engineer at Google based in Seattle, WA, where I build distributed control plane APIs in Go for Google Cloud's managed Lustre file system, which powers high-throughput AI/ML workloads.

Before Google, I led ARM64 migrations for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint at Microsoft, built cloud security automation at Capital One, and developed analysis tools for AEGIS and LCS combat systems at the Naval Surface Warfare Center. I enjoy work in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and performance tuning.
